Varga has hit the ground running and heads into Friday night’s Tamworth HRC meeting with two runners.

In The Pub Drive of the Year-Tom Ison Pace, Varga has his runner Bold And Famous contesting the race alongside his parents-owned (John and Noelene) Mitrhys Magic.

“There is conflict already at work,” joked Varga.

The family members work together in their business, Johns Auto Service, with plenty of banter going on as to who will be first home on Friday night.

Bold And Famous is raced by Tim Varga along with younger brother Anthony and sister Kerryanne Davis, with Tim the trainer.

The gloves will be off, so to speak, as Anthony Varga – a reinsman in his own right – has elected to retain the drive behind Mitrhys Magic.

Mitrhys Magic will commence from the six barrier tonight while Bold And Famous has drawn the three barrier.

“I backed my award up with another winner last Sunday,” added Tim Varga, with Bold And Famous coming into Friday’s race a last-start winner at Inverell.

“He [Tim] has done a good job with this mare and we got the lucky run at Inverell in on the leaders back. We didn’t have to do much work,” Anthony said.

“I was pretty confident down the back at Inverell.”

It was back to back wins for Anthony Varga at Inverell when he drove the Les Enks trained Sassy Shannon for a win.
